>>I think the GTX is the model that uses DX coding for setting the ISO and
thus has no way of overriding the exposure, other than the 2x compensation

camera but with manual ISO setting, thus permitting a lot of control. I

Another Minox model to look into is the GSE.  It was the last of the pure
black bodied Minox 35 and is the predecessor to the GTE/GTX models.  They
are available new (in the U.S.) for about $275 and well worth it.
